I must sleep but my soul speaks
“Just one more rhyme”
and so I rest now
because of this line

I’ve been asleep inside my head my pillow is soft but my blanket like lead falling off it slips I doze My feet come cold my toes exposed I tug and turn inside my dream I pull and stretch and tear the seam And in my sleep I spill the wind dreams of frosts that **** and a sun that grins Now with the chill against my chest I wake with eyes that find no rest between winter sheets I’m as cold as dead It’s just a leak in my waterbed
Sitting on the side of the eclipse we’re hanging off it’s edge I’m thinking of you too dangling off your ledge I’ll be counting to number three and then, I will let go So I can catch you if you fall if you count on me and follow
Pins upon my pillow puncturing my brain Sprinkling out my dreams like sleeping in the rain Flowing out my nightmares Rivers run in my bed Swimming in my dreaming Plugging holes in my head My mattress is floating My soul is sinking slow Down the river drowning and in my dreams, I row…row… row…
